Historical Tsunami Database (HTDB)http://omzg.sscc.ru/tsulab
This is the site of the Historical Tsunami Database (HTDB) for the Pacific, Atlantic, and Mediterranean and is maintained by the Novosibirsk Tsunami Laboratory of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The database is made up, in part, of historical data on tsunamis collected over the last decade by various scientific bodies acting under the auspices of the Tsunami Commission of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics. The site contains data on tsunamis occurring any time from the present back to the first century bc (and, for the Mediterranean, back to 1628bc). Information includes date, time, and source of a tsunami event; depth of source; intensity; magnitude; damage; fatalities; cause; coastal run-up observations; and wave heights as recorded by tide gauges. The site also includes summaries of Tsunami Commission activities and projects.
